XDC Tech and Bridge launched a stablecoin settlement platform enabling 2-second finality transactions for AI agents, with ISO 20022 compliance, KYC/KYB built-in, and access to licensed payment rails across the US, EU, and Latin America. The platform eliminates need for interbank correspondent services and regulatory middleware, processing 2,000 transactions per second.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, AI Agents and Payments. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building AI agents that need to move money, you now have regulated rails that skip the compliance layer - call Bridge today, because the interbank correspondent network just got optional. Your 18-month build to FCA compliance is now a 6-week integration.
